Injuries have ended Jalen Steele's career.
Actually that's what the school is putting out there, but I was told different. He walked out of practice last week, and that ended his career. This comes from a very good basketball source.Quote:

Damn this sucks. So the season hasn't even started and we're already down Ndoye, Daniels, Steele and I'm guessing Lewis and Wilson too. Rob Schneider says "oh no we suck again".

We beat OM and won a game in the Tourney last year without him. Other than a body- not much of a loss. He wasn't going to start this year
Are you blaming this on Ray?Quote:

We have Sword, Thomas, Ware, Davis, Applewhite, Ready, Borchert, R. Johnson, then we should add Lewis and Wilson later in the year, and could actually still add Daniels, too.
That's still far more than we had to work with last year.
Ready to watch Chicken posterize some scrubs this season
Wish this would have happened last year so we could go ahead and get all the attrition out of the way at once...
Ray has got to do a better job of evaluating academics. 50% "miss" rate on signees is unacceptable IMO...
Ndoye isn't sitting out because of academics.
And he didn't really evaluate Daniels incorrectly. He legitimately only needed to pass one more test; he just didn't do it. Essentially every recruit in the country still has to pass classes after they sign, and Daniels didn't. And everyone who signed last year played.
It's not so much the loss of talent as it is the loss of an adequate bench. Ray HAS to have a full bench to be able to run his ideal style (which we've never seen). Going from 13 guys to 8 again completely handicaps the team.
It definitely will hurt depth, but if you add Cunningham, we're still at 9 guys as of right now. Most schools don't use a rotation of more than 10, and again, we should add at least one more mid-year.
This was always going to be a multi-year rebuilding job. To me, this year's result matter about as much as last year's, which is to say, not much. We were never going to win a bunch.
Rumor of him getting kicked off looking like the truth after these tweets...
@Jalensteele0: I hope my dude stay strong those snakes coming for him Next I heard they said 1 down 1 more to go.....
Sounds to me like they trying to get rid of all Stans boys
Definitely some shit brewing.
